Składniki
  

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or ghee
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or Italian seasoning
  • 3 cups small broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach rinsed and dried
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika or Italian seasoning, and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without moving for 4 to 5 minutes until nicely browned on the first side.
  4. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 2 minutes until almost cooked through.
  5. Push the chicken to the sides of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the center.
  6. Add the minced garlic to the center and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 to 40 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  7. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, pour in the water, and stir everything together.
  8. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
  9. Remove the lid, add the spinach, and toss until the leaves wilt, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  10. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and lemon juice, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the chicken and vegetables, stir until slightly melted, and serve immediately.

Uwagi

- Cut the chicken into even pieces so it cooks through in about 7 to 8 minutes without drying out.
- Use small broccoli florets to keep the total cooking time to 15 minutes.
- Add the garlic only after the chicken is mostly cooked to avoid burning and bitterness.
- For extra richness, replace 1 tbsp water with 1 tbsp heavy cream at the end and simmer briefly.
- Serve as a keto main dish as is, or with cauliflower rice if you want a more filling plate.
